Wine Enthusiast's Review: "Ripe and rich, it is already a smooth and fruity wine. Black plums and black currants shine here supported by a dry core of tannins that is sure to soften." (90)
Personal Review: While I was in northern Virginia I got to stop by Total Wine & More, and perused their half bottle section. Luckily, I was able to find this steal in the mix! A Cabernet Sauvignon-heavy left bank Bordeaux displays all the best of Bordeaux for a very reasonable price. The tannins are velvety smooth and each flavor is subtle and rounded perfectly. I had this wine by itself but it would have been amazing with pork chops or a roast.
